Yup, whatever dude.

Hey Chunky!

You are by far the most consistently NO BULLSHIT human being I have ever come across. You do not mince words, and are funny as fuck when you want to be. I remember first meeting you when I was working with Dave doing landscaping and catch all construction stuff. He said “Tomorrow you are gonna be working with this guy Chunky that works with us from time to time, just a heads up.” I remember hearing the nickname and picturing in my head some Neanderthal hayseed with a tendency towards violence and sister fucking. So you can understand my surprise when I met you in person. Working with you was pretty awesome. Most guys who work with their hands fall into three categories; Hardass,Slacker, and Grunt. The Hardass is the type of guy who always is always sweating and more often than not pissed off. He will bitch consistently about the efforts of others and frequently is the one who ends up walking off the job due to the “lack of professionalism” of the other members of the crew. The Slacker also bitches about the efforts of others but usually in the “slow down dude, we are getting paid by the hour”. Where the Hardass lives by the motto “do it my way as it is the right way” the slacker constantly experiments with the tried and true methods to try to find the way to do something that is the absolute minimum effort. This often results in more time spent experimenting than actually working. The Hardass spends so much time making sure everything is done his way that he often ends up being a middle management figure, as opposed to being a productive worker. The Grunt is for the most part in the middle and does a bulk of the work. I think you fall into this latter category. You will let the Slacker and the Hardass run their mouths all they want, but at the end of the day you know how to get your shit finished, and their horseshit is basically background noise, like the ever-present 80’s / 90’s rock music. You do this in part I believe because you know full well that this fucking job ain’t your life. It’s a job, when you are done with the days work there is beer and relaxing to be had, so who gives a shit about bitching and splitting hairs. Not to say you never bitched. We all do our fair share of bitching. But from what I noticed the only time you bitched is when one of the other two types started fucking with your workflow. I kind of picture the phrase “Take your bullshit somewhere else, I am trying to work here” coming out of you frequently.

Aside from that you and I have had quite a few good counter chats, and every time I see you I feel like talking to you, which might not sound like much, but trust me it’s kind of a big deal in my world. Our Facebook relations have been more or less nonexistent, which is as it should be. I prefer catching up to you in person, and facebook seems kind of laughable in comparison. All that said, I will certainly see you around town, and hopefully smoke and coffee some more in the years to come.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
